"conan obrien" news and stories

"Tonight Show" host Conan O'Brien can rest easy knowing he's really made it in show business now that he's been recreated in bacon and white chocolate.

"I've long dreamed of this, but I never thought I'd see it happen," O'Brien said Wednesday as he unveiled the 200-pound bust on his program. While he said it was a gift from the Minnesota State Fair, Slashfood has learned that isn't exactly the truth behind the tasty tribute.

The bust was actually commissioned by a meat company, No Name Premium Meats, in St. Michael, Minn., a fair official told us Thursday.

The video above is part of a promo for the "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on NBC. Fallon appears to "accidentally" light Rachael Ray on fire. Oops! The best part is at the end when Fallon states, "we'll be right back cooking lobsters with Rachael Ray," and Ray yells out, "scallops!" The promo is overall hilarious and makes me think that Fallon's show might have potential.

While I'm unhappy to see Conan O'Brien move down to the tonight show and to watch his time slot be replaced by Jimmy Fallon, I think there might be some hope for the "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." A hope inspired by an image of Rachael Ray set on fire and yelling "scallops!"
